+2 Window Frames - Spares?

PostPost by: JJDraper » Tue Feb 06, 2007 11:09 pm

Seems I touched a tough area! Thanks Gerry for the excellent pics. If Lotus listed the channel as a spare, then there must have been some spares available at some time... Where are they all?! The usual sources draw a blank. Where did you get your nice shiny ones from Gerry? Or are they the result of much refurb work? I will see if I can get a quote for a couple of new ones, perhaps in Stainless as they seem to rot so easily.

Thanks all

Jeremy

Jeremy, mine were pretty sorry with rust and a few holes. Since then they have been cleaned, holes brazed up and rechromed. New stainless would be better.

Hi Everyone

Can any one tell me if these are the same LH & RH or different ? Also does anyone have an old one (or two depending on the previous questions answer !) they would like to "DONATE" in the cause of research ??
I have never looked at mine and have no idea how they are but reading this I suspect they will be as bad as everyone else seems to have found.

BUT on this premise I'm considering making some replacement ones (or more likely having them made in Vietnam) SO the person that provides the pattern ones (s) gets a NEW set free and then the others after I have a set will be offered up here or eBay like the hub extractors I made and sold recently.

You can private mail me or leave message in this post and I'll get back to you.

Cheers

Hi Peter.

The channels are definitely handed.
I have also considered getting a batch made.
I deal with a local engineering company that could do this, but it wouldn't be at the same price as you could get them from Vietnam.
I'll send some drawings to your yahoo address.

Regards, Nigel
